Irrigation Fittings

Irrigation fittings turn, adapt, and connect the run between a lateral line and a sprinkler head — the elbows, adapters, and street ells that make up a sprinkler connection.

Innovative Plastics offers the three workhorse fittings of the sprinkler connection. 90° male elbows turn lateral lines, risers, and head connections with a male pipe thread for fast, secure makeup. Black PVC male adapters transition slip pipe to a male threaded connection so you can thread into valves, fittings, and risers.

Marlex HDPE street ells provide a 90° male × female turn whose self-lubricating thread assembles leak-free — the same heavy-duty ell built into our swing joint assemblies. All three are molded for long underground service in ½" and ¾" sizes and sold by the case for volume installs.

Pair these fittings with our swing pipe and cut-off risers to build custom swing joints on site. The guide to building a swing joint shows how the pieces fit together.

Swing joints vs. fittings vs. risers & tubing

The irrigation line covers the sprinkler connection: swing joints flex the connection from the lateral line to the head, fittings turn and adapt the run, and risers & tubing set head height or build custom assemblies.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a Marlex street ell?
A Marlex street ell is a 90° street elbow molded from heavy-duty Marlex HDPE, with a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other. Marlex is self-lubricating, so the connection assembles leak-free — it is the same fitting used in our swing joint assemblies.
What size are the irrigation fittings?
The male elbows, male adapters, and Marlex street ells are offered in ½" and ¾" sizes and sold by the case. See each product page for part numbers and case quantities.
What does a male adapter do?
A male adapter transitions irrigation slip pipe to a male threaded connection, letting you thread into valves, fittings, and risers. Ours are molded in durable black PVC.
